Submission of proposals till the 25th of March for “Independent Events Organised by a third party” for the Cyprus Pride Festival

Posted by Accept Board Member on Friday, 2 March 2018

The preparations for the 5th Cyprus Pride Festival have begun!

It will be held in May 2018 and will end with the Cyprus Pride Parade on Sunday, 3rd of June 2018, in Nicosia.

The main message of this year's Festival is the legal recognition of gender identity for individuals and their need for autonomy and self-determination - values that are timeless and universal which concern society as a whole, regardless of age, gender, appearance, sexual orientation, identity or sex characteristics.
At the same time, they are the basis of Accept's efforts to fight for the rights of LGBTI people in our country.

Accept - LGBT Cyprus invites all interested parties to organize activities that will run parallel to the Festival and whose objective will be to:

Α. Promote the visibility of LGBT persons and the problems that they face, by organizing “Independent Events Organised by a Third Party”
and / or

B. Provide Financial assistance to the Festival by organizing “Independent Fundraising Events Organised by a Third Party”.
